FEManalyser

FEManalyser is a finite element analysis software package used to simulate mechanical, thermal, and multiphysics phenomena. It supports structural analysis, heat conduction, vibration, and contact problems. The aim is to help engineers assess performance, safety, and reliability of components and assemblies.

FEManalyser provides core components for pre-processing, solving, and post-processing. Pre-processing covers geometry import, mesh generation, and material definitions. The solver module supports linear and nonlinear static and transient analyses, including contact and multiphysics couplings. Post-processing offers visualization of stresses, displacements, temperatures, and derived quantities, along with data export. An API enables automation and parametric studies.

Typical workflow starts with importing or creating geometry, assigning materials and boundary conditions, generating a mesh, configuring solver settings, and running the simulation. Results are examined with contour plots, deformations, and time histories, and findings inform design iterations. The software can interface with CAD tools, optimization modules, and external solvers to extend capabilities.

FEManalyser runs on major operating systems and offers documentation, tutorials, and community support. It is used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, and energy for product development, verification, and research. Licensing ranges from individual licenses to enterprise deployments, with academic and trial options in some distributions.
